  • Seismicity is the tremor felt near areas of active volcanoes
  • Seismicity is measured with the use of seismometer
  • The study of ground deformation This is one of the traditional methods used by people living near volcanoes. People considered that changes in the surface of volcano
  • Monitor gases that come out of fumaroles The most noticeable sign of impending volcanic eruption is the emission of gases from its fumaroles
  • Observing the visible changes to fumarole areas According to volcanologists, a volcano which has the potential erupt is observed to have changes in the size of smoke or magma volatiles in the atmosphere
  • Satellite based monitoring This is done through obtaining thermal images of volcanic areas
  • Landslide refer to the untoward movement of slope.
  • block slide
    is a translational slide in which the moving mass consists of a single unit or a few closely related units that move downslope as a relatively coherent mass
  • Rotational slide This is a slide in which the surface of rupture is curved concavely upward
  • Translational slide In this type of slide, the landslide mass moves along a roughly planar surface with little rotation or backward tilting
  • debris flow is a form of rapid mass movement in which a combination of loose soil, rock, organic matter, air, and water mobilize as a slurry that flows downslope.
  • Falls
    are abrupt movements of masses of geologic materials, such as rocks and boulders that become detached from steep slopes or cliffs
  • Toppling failures
    are distinguished by the forward rotation of a unit or units about some pivotal point, below or low in the unit, under the actions of gravity and forces exerted by adjacent units or by fluids in cracks
  • Debris avalanche This is a variety of very rapid to extremely rapid debris flow
  • Earthflows
    have a characteristic "hourglass" shape.
  • Creep is the imperceptibly slow, steady, downward movement of slope-forming soil or rock.
  • Lateral spreads
    are distinctive because they usually occur on very gentle slopes or flat terrain.
  • Blue holes —from the deep color of underwater sinkhole in the Bahamas
  • Black holes —a term used to describe the sinkhole in Bahamas
  • Cenotes —the sinkholes found in the Yucatan Peninsula, Belize and some other regions
  • Tiankengs —refers to huge sinkholes
  • Tomo – in New Zealand, this is a term used to describe pot holes.
  • The word “typhoon: came from the word “tai Feng’ which means “Great or Big Wind.”
  • “hurricane” is the name given to these storms in the Atlantic Ocean and Eastern Pacific
  • “Tropical Cyclones” is the name given by countries near the Indian Ocean.
  • Flash flood -also known as rapid flooding
  • It is a kind of coastal flooding which is associated with typhoon
    Storm Surge
  • The water level in the sea during a storm is called storm tide.
  • La Nińa incidents is associated by the changes of weather patterns due to the cooling of water temperatures across the east-central Equatorial Pacific.
  • El Nińo is a natural phenomenon which is characterized by the weakening of trade winds which may be blowing in the opposite direction from normal.
